A putative thrazarine biosynthetic gene cluster is discovered in the genome sequence of Streptomyces coerulescens MH802‐fF5. In vivo and in vitro analyses of ThzN, a hydrazine synthetase with cupin and methionyl‐tRNA synthetase‐like domains encoded in the cluster, showed that it synthesizes a key intermediate of thrazarine by catalyzing condensation ...

The crystal structure of S. maltophilia EntB revealed an unusual form of isochorismate lyase that is involved in siderophore biosynthesis.Clinical and environmental isolates of Stenotrophomonas maltophilia produce an enterobactin‐like siderophore that promotes bacterial growth under low‐iron conditions.

Novel approaches to understanding Hent2 and hENT2-related proteins: From novelnuclear variants to global networks / Nuevos enfoques sobre el estudio de hENT2 y proteínas relacionadas: desde nuevas variantes nucleares a redes globales [PDF]
hENT2 is the human nucleoside transporter for which most splice variants have been described to date, in contrast to hENT1 for which no variants have been reported yet.

Structural and Biochemical Insights into Previously Uncharacterized Activity of Nucleotide-Dependent Phosphoenolpyruvate Carboxykinases [PDF]
Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK) enzymes are central to glucose metabolism, with their main role in catalyzing one of the first steps of gluconeogenesis. In addition to its primary role, PEPCK is also involved, whether directly or indirectly, in

Automated methods for the determination of homologous relationships and functional similarities between protein domains. [PDF]
CATH is a protein database of structural domains which are assigned to superfamilies through evidence of a common evolutionary ancestor. These superfamilies are further grouped by overall structural similarity into folds.

Environmental effects on oral biofilm communities [PDF]
Background: Periodontitis is associated with shifts in the balance of the microbial composition of subgingival biofilms. Many species that predominate in disease have not been isolated from healthy sites or are found in low abundance, raising questions ...

Characterising functional diversity in protein domain superfamilies and metagenomes [PDF]
The majority of CATH domain structure superfamilies have small populations and are conserved in sequence and function. However, previous studies have shown that 4% are highly populated and functionally diverse.
